One of them is a poll worker. Hoping they all will be OK. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/7-wisconsin-virus-cases-linked-person-voting-n1188606 |
7 reported cases so far...if it is only that, then it is a blessing. |
I don’t think the Department of Health officials in Wisconsin would have made a statement like this with zero evidence. There are plenty of people who were staying home and the only thing they left home for during that period was to go vote. More info here: “The election-linked infections were identified through the Wisconsin Electronic Disease Surveillance System, an existing statewide program for reporting communicable diseases, and a version of which exists in every state. After the election, state officials added a field to the system, which is used by health officials and includes a voluntary questionnaire for people with illnesses, to ask whether respondents had either worked or voted in person on Election Day, where they worked or voted, when they developed symptoms, and if they had gotten positive test results. “That would be a flag for us, so that’s how we found out that there’s seven,” Kowalik said.” https://theintercept.com/2020/04/20/milwaukee-coronavirus-voting-election/ |
And now it’s 19 Covid cases the Wisconsin Department of Health has linked to in-person voting.

This doesn’t include new asymptomatic carriers. |
How do they know that exactly though? Not necessarily disputing, just trying to understand how this is tracked down. |
Did you read like three posts above yours for the detailed explanation from the health department? |
Up to 40 now, directly attributable to election day activities. |
So Chief Potted Plant John Roberts can add “attempted murder” to his list of accomplishments. |
“Dan Kelly, the Walker-appointed, Trump-endorsed Wisconsin Supreme Court justice who lost the April 7 election, will hold office through July 31. Today, he announced that he's un-recusing himself in the WI voter purge, which was previously deadlocked 3-3.”
